Quakers

Pence's MRI was negative, so I am putting Hunter back into the line-up. Wouldn't you know that Hunter would hit his first HR while on my bench:(

:(

Replace Pence with Tori Hunter due to Pence's day-to-day shoulder problems.

BTW - We may change into a daily league next year (I would rather not, but that discussion can wait), but this season has already started. Let's play ball with our current rules. We should not be making major changes to the rules in the middle of a season.

I had it years ago, but not now.

Yes, take Kotchman back for the rest of the week. But I think that you will need someone with commish powers to do so. Kotchman should have to go through the waiver process first without their magical powers. The replacement rules are as follows 1) You can bench a player for day-to-day injuries, but he has to be replaced by someone already on your bench. A day-to-day player has to have that little red cross symbol on CBS. 2) You can put your player on your DL, if and only if he is actually on a major league DL. If your player is on a DL, then you can pick up a free agent replacement. 3) If you make a trade than you can adjust your line-up to reflect the trade. 4) This year you can pick up a FA in order to make 7 starts, but be careful. If you make a player a FA, then you may lose him through the waiver process. 5) An opponent of the Quakers can only have so many 30 point starts in a week:) Will a commish verify what I said (or correct me if I am wrong) and allow him to put Kotchman back into his line-up?

So we are now all of a sudden a daily league? Why was Kotchman taken out of Theocracy's line-up and replaced with Rivera? Kotchman was not injured? One or two posters chime in and all of a sudden the rules are changed in the middle of a season? Or am I missing something?

I thought I would start the thread, even though I am too lazy to post all of the match-ups. I will say this though. The standings are set up by points against instead of wins. That, and that the Fight'n Quakers rule :clapping:

I think that i have found the secret to success in fantasy baseball. Make sure your opponent only uses 3 of the 4 available starts and have each of those starts be for negative points. Seems to work pretty well.

Thank you Juan :-)

:roll: Always looking for an excuse. Just face the facts, your team is not that good :wink: Exactly, which is why I need all the help I can get. #-o lol...I have been there. Good Luck.

CBS has been slow to post the scheduled starts. I hope this is only because of the weird start to the season. I depend upon CBS's accuracy during the season.

I am out.

Billy Buckner will be the hitting coach for Boise. That could be interesting.

Mild disappointment that Richardson and Ebinger never developed. Granted, the cuts aren't surprising, just disappointment that things didn't turn out better. Ahh...Mercedes is gone. Not surprising, but....I tend to have a soft spot for players who stick it out in the minors for an extended period of time. I hope he lands on his feet somewhere.

You must live near Peoria :wink: It will be interesting to see how the new management changes the philosophy of how to place players at each level. Is it better to keep them at one place? Or is it better to move them mid-season when warranted? Is it better to challenge players, or better to give them a taste of success?

The best Boise pitching prospects tend to be from June's draft and/or international players that were in Mesa last year.

That is my understanding too.

Woo The first series for Boise this year is at Salem. Should be a nice way to start my summer. 5 straight games of Boise baseball. Boise will be in Eugene later in July, but with the price of gas,...I am not certain that I will want to drive that far.

I want to second this!

According to an article on the cubs site. http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120330&content_id=27766904&vkey=news_chc&c_id=chc Javier Baez, the Cubs' No. 1 pick in 2011, signed late and saw minimal playing time last year at Class A Boise. He did get extra work in Arizona during the instructional league, and the Cubs had not decided where he'll open. Baez, drafted out of high school, will stay in Arizona for extended spring training and most likely play in Boise. First baseman Dan Vogelbach may not have an athletic looking body, but he'll surprise people with his speed and agility. The left-handed hitter, who was the Cubs' second-round pick in 2011, has legitimate power but also a good eye. He's also expected to be launching balls at Boise. Right-hander Dillon Maples had considered playing baseball and football at North Carolina but decided to pursue baseball when the Cubs selected him in the 14th round. He'll stay in extended spring training, and the team has yet to decide where he'll pitch. Boise? Dunston, an outfielder, is the son of the former Cubs shortstop of the same name, and decided to postpone college after he was taken in the 11th round. A pleasant young man with the same bright smile as his dad, Dunston is super fast and expected to play at Boise. Lockhart, a shortstop, is the son of former Major League infielder Keith Lockhart, who is now an area scout for the Cubs. Daniel was selected in the 10th round out of Hebron Christian Academy in Dacula, Ga. Watch him for a few games and you'll see he comes from a great gene pool. He'll also be at Boise. Gretzky, a first baseman and son of NHL legend Wayne Gretzky, is rehabbing from a shoulder injury, and will be in extended spring training with an assignment to be determined at a later date. Boise? Also on a list showing the destinations of the top Cubs prospects: Jeimer Candelario and Gioskar Amaya will be at Boise too. Woo!

I am OK with everything you said, but... the prospect draft should start after BA's list comes out. I would hate to see the first few drafters not have the list and the rest have the advantage of having it. I believe the subscribers get the list early. I would hate to see them having an advantage over everyone who is not a subscriber. BA is not the only authority on prospects. True. But it is near the top and when I follow the prospect draft and the order of BA's list there is a very high degree of correlation. yeah, and most widely respected prospect lists come out during the offseason, usually after the new year. side note, BP did a really handy Excel compilation of the top 100 prospect lists from 14 different sources: http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=16294 \ Nice.

Just check the team you are matched against at the start of the week. also, don't cheat. The amount of problems we have had has been real small. Usually someone is new, busy with work, or so far out of the race they kind of give up.

Bogaerts sent from Red Sox as compensation I thought Xander, but no it is his brother. :(
